The owners of Grinders, a restaurant and live-music venue in downtown Kansas City, hope to open a new location at 103rd Street and Pflumm Road.

Two restaurants, Stonewall Inn and Stonewall Pizza, did business at the site for years until they closed last year.

Grinders owners said they want to have outdoor events at the Lenexa site, something that will require zoning changes.

Owner Stretch said the types of outdoor events he wants to do include weddings and banquets and movie screenings. He said he did not plan to turn the area into an outdoor concert venue, but neighbors said they want more assurance that it won't happen.

Neighbors said they're worried that noise from outdoor concerts will become a nuisance. They're also concerned that there won't be enough parking on the Grinders Roadhouse site and customers will try to park on 103rd Street or nearby side streets.

Neighbors suggest keeping the zoning the way it is for now, limiting the number of outdoor events to about a half-dozen per year.

"See what types of events (they have) and see how that goes for the neighborhood. And then, I think, everybody would be willing to, you know, come back and revisit it again in a year," said neighbor Debbie Ball.

Lenexa city leaders discuss the zoning for the restaurant at a meeting Tuesday evening. A lot of people packed the chamber to discuss the issue.

"If we've got 300 people there today, we've got no control that there's not going to be 600 people there tomorrow. This is like putting a 50 pound sack of flour in a one pound sack," said Lenexa city councilman Lou Serrone.

After discussing the issue, leaders agreed to send the matter back to the Lenexa Planning Commission for more study.

Stretch said he sees that as an opportunity.

"We can help educate and get the neighborhood behind and understand and educate what we're doing. First and foremost, we're a restaurant. I can't say that enough. We're not putting in a music venue," he said.

Hillary Clinton's office said "nothing nefarious was at play" when the former secretary of state used her personal email address, rather than one provided by the State Department, during her four years as America's top diplomat.
